Scope problemThe 870 shot flawlessly and patterned very well while sighting the scope. I fired several types of shells at 30-40-50 yards and settled on 3.5” Winchester Long Beards. The problem was after about 30 firings, the Red Dot scope front lense shattered. Cabela’s swiftly overnighted a replacement scope, which was entirely satisfactory.

Great "package" turkey gunI really like this gun. I wasnt big on the truglo red dot so i sold it and mounted a much higher quality optic. Fit and feel is great, perfect balance between the shurshot stock and short barrel length. Camo dip feels great, but the dipping process left a little camo overlap on the solid grey rubber inset on the fore end.
One thing I should mention is that the product description states 3lb "competition" trigger. This was far from the case with mine. My pull felt heavier than that so i measured it several times and got an average of 5.5lbs (reason for taking one star). I was somewhat disappointed, but it was easily fixed with a Timney trigger fix. Now my pull us short, crisp and just perfect for me.
Ultimately this is a fine turkey/pred gun out of the box, but with a little tinkering i made it the perfect turkey gun for me.

Great Turkey GunI purchased this shotgun/red dot package to upgrade to a more compact turkey gun & allow the use of a red dot. My "old" gun wasn't tapped for a scope base & has a 26" barrel. I purchased this one on sale & with the rebate & although it was still pretty expensive for a pump shotgun it was well worth the money. Absolutely perfect for run & gun style turkey hunts. The barrel doesn't snag on tree branches while walking in the woods which was a problem with my "old" gun. I upgraded the choke to a Kick's GT 665 & am currently using the Long Beard XR 3.5" shells with #5 shot & it patterned very well at 40 yards. The shape & contour of the stock & recoil pad seem to reduce the recoil versus other 870's I have used. Very pleased with the purchase & once you have used an optic on a turkey gun I don't think you would go back to a traditional bead sight or fiber optic sights. The only other upgrade I might make is the optic, I may go with one that has an etched reticle or something similar in case the battery would go dead on a hunt.

Excellent Shotgun!This was my first shotgun and I have not been let down yet. The Remington 870 actions have been around for years. This gun is on the shorter side as far as shotguns go (40,1/2") which makes it a very easy gun to move through thick bush with. The TruGlo sight is idiot proof and very easy to sight in for different loads and shot sizes. Also comes with a great recoil pad that absorbs the pain of those 3,1/2" shells. To make this gun a truly good predator/turkey gun pair it up with a Carlson Coyote Choke for both predator and turkey hunting.

Great styling and performanceI was waffling between this gun and a Mossberg 835 thug with a red dot. My first gun was an 870 Wingmaster 20 ga pump and I thought the world of it. I am not disappointed with this Remington either. It is well balanced and does not kick like a mule while firing 3 1/2" mags. I patterned the gun out to 50 yrds on 2 different targets with 3" and 3 1/2" #5 turkey loads. Best I could do was 25 yrds with my Weatherby 82 and a full choke barrel. The red dot sight enables me to be ambidextrous as well when the situation calls for it. So far, very satisfied with this purchase.

Super SuperMag Super ServicePicked up my special order last night, of my 870 SPS Supermag 12ga. Everything was as ordered. Gun is awesome. Service at Cabelas was nothing short of excellent! Thank you Cabelas. I researched this gun for weeks looking for a better price, but when it all came down to it, I couldn't do better than Cabelas!

Solid gunJust shot my first Tom with this gun. I wasn't using top of the line ammo, and it patterned beautifully. The camo coating is durable, the pistol grip gives great control when shooting from a sitting position, and the fiber optic sights are bright even on a dark day (it was snowing and 32 degrees when I shot my Tom). Also nice having the versatility of mounting a red dot if desired. The gun performs flawlessly as I'd expect for an 870. I'd recommend this gun to anybody.

870 Turkey Super Mag SyntheticLike every other 870 I've owned my Super Mag Synthetic Turkey has been flawless, cycling & firing anything from 2.75" dove loads to 3.5" goose loads without so much as a hiccup. This particular 870 is my go-to workhorse and as such it performs dual duty. With the short turkey barrel on it serves as a "house gun" for home defense & to deal with 4 legged predators that go after our poultry, when it's time to go waterfowl or upland hunting I drop in the plug and swap the turkey barrel for a 26" in Real Tree camo I picked up for it after market. Ironically, I've never hunted turkey with it, but it has accounted for a pile of ducks, geese, upland birds, 4 legged varmints, and never missed a beat...

Why the barrel so short only 20&quot; inches? isn't that too short for taking a long shot to a turkey? what is the yards accuracy of this shotgun?

Asked by: rob1234

Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. The idea for the 20 inch barrel is to make the swing easier. Depending on the shells used the average accuracy would be about 100 yards.

Would you be able to use this for deer and put iron sights on it?

Asked by: Jimmyp33

Thank you for your question!
The sight included with this shotgun is mounted on a Weaver rail, so if you wanted to put standard rifle iron sights on it, you could, although as always you'll want to make sure your sights are holding their zero before you actually take it hunting. For that matter, if you wanted, you could also install a reflex sight instead, which may be easier to use depending on what kind of environment you hunt in. You may also need to invest in either a rifled barrel, or at least a rifled choke tube, depending on what you plan to hunt with.
As far as using this for deer, I would recommend checking with your local Fish and Wildlife Department first, to make sure you can legally hunt deer with a shotgun, and you may also want to talk to Remington directly at 888 736 4867, to see if they have any other configuration suggestions for this shotgun when it comes to deer hunting. If you have one near you, you may also want to talk to your local Bass Pro, to see what the professionals at our Gun Counter recommend, as they'd have some other insights as well.
You may also want to look at the Remington 870 SPS ShurShot Super Mag Pump-Action Turkey Shotgun (our SKU is 1503835) as well. This shotgun is very similar to the Super Mag Turkey/Predator Shotgun; however, the receiver does not include a rail and the package doesn't have a scope, but this shotgun comes standard with TruGlo fiber-optic iron sights, and the 23&quot; barrel would give you a bit more range than the Turkey/Predator model's 20&quot; barrel.
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro as your outdoor retailer!

Is this shotgun suitable for ducks,dove,quail, and similar game birds?

looking for a versatile shotgun so will this also work for other game birds specifically Ducks

Asked by: JaceP

Hi, please check with your local state regulations on the type of shotgun for migratory game birds.
Its solid dependable action makes it America's favorite, and our continual upgrades make it the most advanced, well-rounded family of pump shotguns around. Along with continually evolving designs, this shotgun's superiority is a matter of rugged dependability, great pointing characteristics and versatility. In fact, the Model 870 has been the standard for slide-action performance for 60 years.

Can you use a scope from a cross bow?

Asked by: Ironman5312

Thank you for your inquiry. Any crossbow scope with rings that fit to a Weaver or Picatinny style rail should fit. Make sure you are using a good shockproof scope. The recoil on a shotgun is far greater than that of a crossbow.
